Brendan Clement 486f6c66bb docs: revise getting started and concepts (#4491)
This PR is part of the documentation revamp. Once the full set of PRs is
merged, we’ll publish the combined site to staging for review before
updating docs.lancedb.com.

The introductory pages are inconsistent, and the old PR split asked
reviewers to review some pages twice.

This brings the final quickstart, connection guide, architecture and
Concepts pages together. It clarifies OSS and Enterprise, simplifies
naming rules and includes the navigation and diagram fixes from #4489.

Function and Secret details on the Concepts pages are MDX comments until
their release, and CONTRIBUTING.md explains how to write docs before a
release.

Includes #4532. Ingestion, search and integrations are in #4533; data
workflows, SQL and operations are in #4534. Each MDX file has one PR
owner.

Local assembly, Mint validation and link checks pass. The Function pages
stay published from `main` until #4534 hides them, so hold publication
until the complete stack is integrated.
